10 Things About Living With Asian Parents

Before you start readingthis, these are 10 things that I frequently notice in my family. A lot of these things can come off as stereotypical, but I am not saying that these things occur in every Asian household. These are just simple things that my friends and I have experienced.


1) You can never use your phone without being harshly criticized

Me: **Does 2 hours of calc homework, and mom does not come into the room once.

Unlocks phone to check snapchat

Mom: **Walks into room

"Why are you always on your phone?!?!?! That's all you do!!!"


2) GRADES!!! They are more important than your social life, health, and enjoyment.


3) After every mistake you make, there is always a life story that follows. There is an 83% chance that the story will be something about your parent's childhood.


4) You will constantly be compared to your older siblings, cousins, etc. This can be through grades, how well you play sports, college ∞


5) After a long, stressful day, you are guaranteed to come home to a delicious home cooked meal.

p.s.: You will be yelled at if you don't finish everything on the plate




6) It is very difficult for them to understand the concept of hip-hop and rap music.


7) If you have a younger sibling, then everything is blamed on you.


8) They tell you that every older person is either an aunt or uncle, but you don't even know if they're really related to you


9) A jar never goes to waste! You probably have random jars filled with spices and herbs.


10) If it's cold, you are forbidden to go outside without at least 3 layers of winter clothes

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

pale girl

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
